SALISBURY AT THE CONFERENCE.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-In a speech at the
meeting of the National Union of Conserv-
atives at Oxford to-day, Lord Salisbury
said he saw in the success of the conference
the happiest augury for the future. The
information from Scotland showed that the
calm sense of the Scotch would not sanction
any scheme endangering the integrity OF
the empire. He acknowledged the
generous and unstinted hope of
the Liberal Unionists, and de-
declared that so long as their support was
assured the country would rest In peace, Sc
cure from the assaults of the party of disor-
der. At the evening conference Lord Sails
bury said he would not renew discussion of
the question whether home rule would be
established or not. The author Of the pro
.posal had withdrawn his measure 1t would
pass the wit of man to produce home rule
scheme which would be pleasing to both MIR.
Trevelyan and Michael Davitt.
oBsTRUCTIoNIsTs DEFIED.
The coming session of Parliament would
be devoted more to measures that would
satisfy the pressing wants of England. he
form of local government was long needed
in England, and the government hoped to
carry a measure that would meet the wants
of the country He did not intend until
there was manifest change in Ireland TO
propose increased powers of local govern
inent there. Obstruction had been threat
ened to everything that might be proposed
in Parliament until the demands Of the Home
Rulers had been granted. The government
were prepared to face obstruction. Me
present system of procedure was not enough.
Drastic reforms were required to prevent
wanton waste of public time. He hoped
the effect of these measures would be the
restoration of the character and usefulness
of the House.
The question of the regulation of the
LIQUOR traffic, he continued would have a
foremost place in the government bill. he
was in favor Of liberty in that traffic so far
as was consistent with social order
OPPOSED TO CHURCH DIsEsTABLIsHMENT.
He said he was strongly opposed to church
| dsestablishment, but admitted that the
government were bound to reform the
church by removing whatever evils were
proved TO exist. He promised a measure
for the removal Of the tithe charges from
land. The state of agriculture, he said,
was deplorable. Whatever measure OF re-
lief might obtain general consent would
receive the readiest consideration OF the
government.
Referring to the Trafalgar square
troubles, he said he regarded the meetings
there as lawless demonstrations They
were the natural results Of Mr.. Gladstone's
words. Mr.. Gladstone could not preach to
an Irish mob TO defy the law without hav-
ing his advice applied in England as well
He Salisbury was convinced that the
{ country would say with him that those
claiming the right of public meeting
were not privileged to convert it into the
right of making themselves public nuisances.
The government were determined at all
. costs to maintain the supremacy Of the law.
[Cheers1 He could not understand what
it was that excited the sympathy
of English Liberals in the case of
William O'Brien, who had broken the law
and melted others TO lawlessness He did
| not fear that the attacks of the Liberal
leaders on recognized principles Of order
would confuse the moral sense OF the En-
J glish nation. On the contrary, the substan-
tia effect would be To convince the public
+. mind in favor of policy which vindicated
law and order Throughout the kingdom.
[Cheersl
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, speaking
at Penrith this evening, asked whether Mr..
Bright and the other Unionists were pre-
pared TO march under the Conservative
Protectionist flag He said he believed the
government would take Lord Randolph
Churchill's advice and drop the land pur-
chase scheme.
